    firstly❤, I don't like the body shape way too pointy, I don't like master vol, master tone layouts if there are 2 pickups there should be at least a vol for each! but most guitar makers do it?? my local tech converts any guitar I buy! right that's just my preferences out the way! 1 you didn't do it black 1st to pop the flame, it isn't always necessary, 2nd it's STUNNING!

  • @gwordscience9465
    @gwordscience9465 6 месяцев назад

    Why would there be interference? Firstly, it's DC current, so more or less constant and thus not inducing. Secondly, while it might itself pick up environmental noise, it is not connected to the audio circuit (might be different for active pickups) and also, there is both a plus and a minus wire, parallel to each other. Thus, noise would cancel out.

    I'm trying to do that thing on my guitar. Maybe with optic fiber. With leds looks better and easier to do the job but I'm scared... What happens if one led burn out? Can't decide

    • @NorthstarGuitars
      @NorthstarGuitars 6 месяцев назад

      Unfortunately, there is always a chance that an LED can burn out. If that happens, you have to make a new neck. It's fun to do at least once, but it does involve more labor. I can't really comment on fiber optic since I've never used it.

    • @ProwlerProwler
      @ProwlerProwler 6 месяцев назад

      I'm doing a lot of research about optic fiber and its light conductivity along time. It starts already weak, and if it lose intensity it will be a lost if time and money. If not, well that a lot of possibilities. I only will need 2 light sources, one for the neck dots fiber, and one for the body silhouette. Yes! Like a tuning car 😁

  • @paulwarden7744
    @paulwarden7744 Год назад

    This would look amazing with black pickup covers. I am not familiar with the Mayhem pickups (I usually roll with the Custom Duncan or the JB with a neck pickup matched to the body wood) but I know the covers can be tone thiefs on high output pups. But then you might have to change the name from “Sirius” to “none more black” 😂 Great stuff! Those of us making the jump from mods/upgrades to builds would really benefit from a tips and tricks vid series.

  • @paulwarden7744
    @paulwarden7744 Год назад

    I am not one for novelty bodies, but this is impressive. Is it just me or did you match the fretboard stain to that body? The inlay dots also have a Dino-egg type feel. The little details like that really elevate it. How does it play? Looks like it would feel similar to a Flying V body wise.

  • @paulwarden7744
    @paulwarden7744 Год назад

    Beautiful guitar. The inlay work is a nice touch. I also like the choice to default humbucker to single coil in the neck. The best of both worlds IMO. Impressive build.

    Is there a difference when to use isopropyl vs denatured alcohol?

    • @NorthstarGuitars
      @NorthstarGuitars Год назад

      Denatured alcohol contains ethanol and several other chemicals. It does work similarly to isopropyl alcohol but I generally stay away from it. I have used it for stains before but didn't notice a difference in workability, so I just stuck with the isopropyl.
